Chapter 386 The Second Mysterious Relic!
"No—!!! Why?! Why is this happening?!"
The Black Mountain Monster let out a roar filled with resentment and despair!
It tried to harness the remaining power within its body to condense tentacles and launch a counterattack!
However, those pitch-black tentacles that had just grown from its body were blasted to pieces by the countless energy spears that came rushing in from all directions before they were fully formed!
Each explosion takes away a large amount of the Abyss's Will!
Each bombardment pushed it further away from the final explosion!
On the contrary, it caused the already dwindling abyssal will within its body to dissipate even faster!
Time seemed to stretch out infinitely at this moment.
Every minute, every second, was a form of excruciating torture for the Black Mountain Monster imprisoned in the golden ocean.
It could clearly feel that the vast source within its body, accumulated over countless years, was leaking out uncontrollably like a flood bursting its banks, and was then greedily devoured and refined by that domineering golden ocean.
Its accumulated self-destruct energy, enough to level everything within a hundred miles, was suppressed by an invisible and irresistible force, like a mad dog chained up, possessing the desire to destroy everything but unable to break free.
"Let me go...let me go!!!"
Its will, filled with madness and chaos, roared and surged wildly within Lin Qiye's divine sea of consciousness, attempting to shake the eternal, indestructible golden sun.
However, all of this was in vain.
Lin Qiye's expression remained calm and undisturbed.
He watched indifferently as this once invincible behemoth was gradually worn down and disintegrated within his domain, like a cold, indifferent god wielding punishment.
His hands never stopped moving.
One after another, psionic spears, wreathed in ice, lightning, and fire, were continuously condensed and projected in his hands, striking the Black Mountain Monster's writhing and struggling body with precision and ruthlessness.
Each explosion was like a heavy hammer, slamming down on its already crumbling will.
Each bombardment took away a massive amount of its abyssal will, hastening its death.
Lin Qiye could clearly feel that his hazy spiritual sea was expanding and extending outward at a visible speed.
The Blood Bone Pearl, which was suspended in the center of the sea of consciousness, became more and more dazzling and solid, and the blood-white light emanating from it became thicker and brighter!
The thrill of his rapidly increasing strength captivated him, leaving him unable to extricate himself.
The Black Mountain Monster's roar gradually weakened and became hoarse, transforming from an initial, earth-shattering rage into a weaker, more hoarse sound.
In those countless, densely packed scarlet eyes, the destructive madness and brutality were gradually being replaced by a deeper emotion—
despair.
It couldn't understand.
I, one of the most powerful divine messengers under the God of Bloodbone Mountain, have guarded this area for countless years, devouring countless creatures that have strayed into this place.
Even the occasional mysterious and powerful human who intruded were easily torn apart and devoured by it.
But why...?
Why did I fall to this seemingly insignificant human?!
This is completely illogical!
"What...are you...?"
Its will, filled with resentment and confusion, echoed intermittently in Lin Qiye's mind.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye merely glanced at it calmly, without pausing his movements in the slightest.
Its response was yet another, even more ferocious and intense barrage of energy spears!
Rumble—!!!!!!!!!
The Black Mountain Monster's body was blasted into a cloud of black smoke and mist amidst the continuous, terrifying explosions.
Its already weak aura was now like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.
As time went by, the once overwhelming golden ocean of will gradually became thin and transparent.
It wasn't that Lin Qiye's power had diminished, but rather that the abyssal will of this area had been almost completely absorbed by him.
The once colossal Black Mountain Monster has shrunk to less than a meter in size.
Its grotesque body, constructed from countless twisted flesh and tentacles, was already riddled with holes, with not a single part intact.
Those countless densely packed scarlet eyes had long since lost all their luster, becoming dull and lifeless, like the eyes of a dead fish.
It fell to the ground quietly, no longer roaring or struggling, as if it had completely given up resistance and was waiting for the final judgment to come.
Seeing this, Lin Qiye also slowly stopped what he was doing.
He could clearly sense that the other person's life force had become extremely weak.
Only a last vestige of the abyss's will remained, stubbornly clinging to its existence.
Lin Qiye slowly walked towards the Black Mountain monster, which was already at its last gasp.
He did not immediately strike.
Instead, it hovered quietly in front of it, its eyes, burning with golden flames, gazing at it indifferently.
"Tell me," Lin Qiye's voice was calm and undisturbed, yet carried an undeniable authority, "Where...is this place?"
"Where is Bloodbone Mountain...?"
The tattered mass, less than a meter long, twitched slightly.
Those countless scarlet eyes, long since dull and lifeless, struggled to lift and focus on Lin Qiye.
A faint yet extremely venomous will echoed intermittently in Lin Qiye's mind.
"Hehe...hehehe..."
"Human...you...you think...you've won...?"
"This...is...the...hunting grounds...of Bloodbone Mountain..."
"My god's... gaze... has long... been... fixed on... you..."
"You...can't escape..."
"I...soon...will...be...resurrected by my god."
"And you... will... be forever condemned..."
The intermittent voice was filled with the most vicious curses and resentment.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye frowned slightly.
The hunting grounds of Bloodbone Mountain?
It seems I've been teleported directly to the vicinity of this evil god's lair.
but……
"You talk too much nonsense..."
A cold killing intent flashed in Lin Qiye's eyes.
He didn't give the other person any chance to speak, and suddenly stretched his right hand forward!
Om-! ! !
An energy spear instantly materialized!
boom!
"ah--!!!"
A bloodcurdling scream, utterly devastating, erupted from the air!
Lin Qiye's domineering and unparalleled sixth-level extreme martial intent was like the hottest lava, an energy spear that bombarded relentlessly!
Purify!
Eradicated!
Refine!
That broken piece of stuff melted and disintegrated rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
In the end, it was completely transformed into the purest energy, which was devoured and absorbed by Lin Qiye!
As the last trace of the abyss's will was completely refined, Lin Qiye exhaled a long breath.
The moment that breath left his body, it transformed into a visible white wave of air, surging and churning in the air, faintly carrying a golden halo.
On a whim, he brought up his system panel.
[Spiritual Consciousness Sea (5%): Blood Bone Treasure Pearl (5%)]
Looking at the steadily increasing numbers, Lin Qiye felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
Although the numerical change wasn't significant, Lin Qiye could clearly feel that his hazy spiritual sea had expanded considerably compared to before.
The Blood Bone Pearl, which was suspended in the center of the sea of consciousness, became more and more dazzling and solid. The blood-white light that shot out from it almost illuminated the entire sea of consciousness!
My own strength has once again achieved a qualitative leap!
However, aside from a slight worry about the Black Mountain Monster's last words, a brand new discovery made Lin Qiye's eyes light up!
He slowly withdrew the spiritual energy and psychic power that were attached to his body.
Logically, without the support of these two forces, he should have fallen from mid-air.
however……
He remained suspended in place, completely still!
It was as if an invisible, more profound force was supporting his body, allowing him to resist the gravity of this world at will!
Levitate without the aid of psychic powers or telekinesis!
This……
Is this the hallmark ability of a powerful being in the mysterious realm?
Lin Qiye had no idea!
Could it be that I have truly entered a mysterious realm?!
A tremendous storm raged in Lin Qiye's heart!
He tried to completely immerse his mind in that vast and boundless sea of spiritual consciousness.
With a thought, the hazy spiritual mist seemed to come alive, slowly flowing and surging!
Immediately afterwards, an invisible yet incredibly real power extended from his spiritual sea of consciousness, establishing a wondrous connection with the outside world!
He could clearly feel that he had become a part of this world!
At this moment, a crystal that was completely black, covered with strange dark red patterns, and pulsating slightly like a heart slowly emerged!
Mysterious Relic!
Another mysterious relic has been discovered!
Lin Qiye's face immediately revealed an undisguised look of ecstasy!
Without the slightest hesitation, he flashed and appeared in front of the black crystal, reaching out and grabbing it in his palm without a second thought!
boom--!!!!!!
It felt icy cold to the touch, yet it was as if I were holding a star about to explode!
A torrent of energy, a hundred times more violent than when he refined the "Blood Bone Pearl," filled with the most primal destructive and chaotic will, surged into his body like a bursting dam, flowing wildly from his palm!
"Hmm!"
Lin Qiye groaned, feeling as if his body was about to be burst apart by this tyrannical and unreasonable terrifying force!
However, before this violent energy could cause any substantial damage to his body, his six vast and boundless martial intents descended like six eternal and immortal ancient divine mountains!
That violent torrent of energy was like a raging fire encountering ten-thousand-year-old ice before that domineering and unparalleled sixth-level extreme martial intent. It was instantly suppressed and all its edges were smoothed out, transforming into the purest and most magnificent primordial power, which continuously poured into his vast and boundless spiritual sea of consciousness!
【Ding! 】
[Spiritual Consciousness Sea (6%): Blood Bone Pearl (5%), Shadow Binding Heart (1%)]
As the system notification sounded, Lin Qiye could clearly feel that his hazy mental sea had once again undergone a tremendous expansion!
Shadowbound Heart?!
It is the essence of the Black Mountain Monster's power and rules, the source of its ability to control thousands of shadow tentacles!
Its most basic and core usage is—
Merge with the shadow!
Lin Qiye instantly understood.
His mind raced.
The previously ordinary shadow beneath his feet began to writhe and twist violently, as if it were alive!
Immediately afterwards, *sizzle! sizzle! sizzle! sizzle!*
Countless jagged, pitch-black tentacles sprouted wildly from his shadow!
It swirled and danced around him, tearing through the air and emitting chilling shrieks!
In the blink of an eye, countless possibilities arise!
This ability...
It's practically a miniature version of that Black Mountain Monster!
Moreover, as his thoughts change, these tentacles formed from shadows can change their shape, length, and even hardness at will!
It can be used as a spear in attack and a shield in defense!
It's simply... impossible to guard against!
Lin Qiye looked at the pitch-black tentacles around him, which resembled a chaotic dance of demons, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
This shadowy tentacle reminded him of the eerie shadow of the beautiful young female vice principal he had seen before.
Could it be that the mysterious relic of that beautiful young female vice principal was also similar?
With a thought, Lin Qiye caused the countless ferocious tentacles to recede like a tide, silently merging back into his shadow.
Everything returned to calm.
It was as if what had just happened had never occurred.
This undoubtedly adds another powerful and mysterious trump card to his portfolio!
……
Inside the cave, Liu Ruyan slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, ending a cycle of cultivation.
She slowly opened her eyes, and a hint of worry, which she could hardly conceal, flashed in those usually cool and aloof eyes.
How much time has passed?
she does not know.
In this abyss devoid of sun, moon, and stars, where twilight reigns eternally, the concept of time has long since become blurred.
All she knew was that she had restored her spiritual energy to its peak.
But the anxiety and unease in my heart were like wildly growing vines, impossible to calm down.
Has he... come back?
Unable to endure the torment any longer, Liu Ruyan suddenly stood up and walked towards the cave entrance.
However, she had only just reached the cave entrance and hadn't even had a chance to look out—
call--!!!
A gust of wind, carrying a scorching heat, swept past her without warning!
The speed was so fast that it even left a series of blurry afterimages!
Liu Ruyan's heart tightened suddenly, and every hair on her body stood on end in that instant!
Before she could even react, her body's fighting instincts acted before her brain could process them, instantly putting her into a state of heightened alertness!
However, the next second, a strong and powerful arm pulled her tense body tightly into a firm and warm embrace.
That familiar, domineering yet reassuring masculine aura instantly enveloped her completely.
